Set Designer

Principal Set Designer Oh Hock Leong faced two key challenges during the planning stage of “Life Less Ordinary”. Firstly, he needed the lead actresses to look convincing as workers in a gift hamper company. As such, Hock Leong invited a gift packing sponsor into the Studio to lend credibility during filming, so that not just the actresses but also the styling of the hampers are as close to real-life as possible.

Secondly, all items that go into a typical hamper must have specially created logos and labels on it for filming purposes. This is a time-consuming task that involves a lot of meticulous planning and work on the part of the team.
